Subsidies cut: The Senate passed a $71 billion spending bill for the Agriculture Department and related agencies that eliminates subsidies for wool and mohair. The bill also cuts honey subsidies and slashes funds for the controversial Market Promotion Program, which helps advertise U.S. goods overseas. The bill now goes to a House-Senate conference committee.
